Technical breakdown and public dissemination of the Red Sun vulnerability.
Raw Developer Origin & Technical Request
GitHub Issue
Apr 16, 2026
Wrote a technical breakdown of RedSun for nefariousplan.com: nefariousplan.com/posts/redsun-wind...
Covers the remediation-to-write primitive, the oplock race, SYSTEM-owned file creation, and the broader pattern of Defender's elevated cleanup surface being an attack vector. Also references BlueHammer for context on the trajectory.
Not trying to step on your work — attribution is explicit throughout. If anything is wrong or misrepresents the mechanism, open to corrections. The intent was to write a serious technical treatment that the security community can reference, since same-day unpatched deserves more than a tweet thread.
Posted to r/netsec and HN today.
